Default Not as bad as you might think

These big pontoons are not as bad as you would think, as a kid I went to camp that had one of these to play on in the water. The counselors would carry it in and out of the water each year for storage. Lasted well into the 1960s.

According to a Engineering Handbook these little things weight 525 lbs.
